Congratulations! I am using him, too, on 10/27/09. I think we've made a good choice!

Yay! Congrats!

I'll be making my appointment with Dr. Almanza this week - for Oct. 29, hopefully.

I'll see you there! I'm on the 29th too, and I'm the first surgery of the day :)

Hi Heather,

Best of luck and don't delay.  I work in Austin and my insurance did not cover this benefit.  So I have decided to have it on November 20, 2009.

Good Luck,

Jesus Mendoza

Congrats!

Upcoming Surgery!

I am finally going to have my surgery on November 20th.  It has been a long journey for me since my health insurance with the State of Texas has the exclusion for gastric bypass.  During this legislation I did my work and contect every legilative representative & the governor to get this as an addited benefit.  After the legislation I learned that our employees retirement system had been assigned the task of investigation the cost and process to take to implement the procedure.  This will not happen until 09/2010 and the deductibles and copays are so rediculous.  So thanks to Shirley and Dr Almanaza I will finally have this procedure gastric bypass next month and I know that it will help me with my high blood pressure and daibetes.
